DIRT AND GREASE
Make it Hard for Argentine
Wool to Get I'm.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-Consul
Baker, in his report to the Depart
ment OF State in regard to the wool
production OF the Argentine Repub-
lie, says that the amount Of wool
shipped from there. to the United
States is annually becoming less. The
cause of this, he says, is in a great
part due to the fact that the United
States tariff unintentionally, but very
unjustly, discriminates against such
woods from that Republic and in favor
of those from Australia and New
Zealand. Our system Of computing
duties and making no allowance
whatever for the fact that the dirt
and grease in the woods OF the Argen-
tine Republic is fully seventy per
cent greater than in those OF the for
mer countries, is unjust. This excess
of dirt and grease being required to
pay full tariff rates for wool, the only
woods from the Argentine Republic
which it is now possible to ship under
our tariff are the Creola or long car
pet woods OF the province OF Cardona,
which are shipped from Rosari, and
which amount to about 100000
pounds annually.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS.
And Sends out Words of Cheer
for Ireland.

LONDON, December 27.-Replying to
the address presented himat Dover by
the Liberal delegations, Gladstone re-
ferred to the uncertain character of
Lord Salisbury's declarations in r. fer
ence to free trade, and said that they
indicated, SO far as the mojority in
Parliament is concerned, that free
trade is insecure. He relied upon the
masses OF the people to oppose the re-
turn to protection, as the coming ses-
sion did not promise we'll for the coun-
try. Ii it were true that the great
measure OF the session, the local gov
eminent bill, would not be introduced
until April, the government would in
flict an undisguised mockery on the
country. The last was dark
session, but this would be made
darker unless something was done
to alleviate the situation in
ireland. The darkest blot upon Par
Lament was the act now in operation.
The Irish Liberals were charged with
interfering with the administration OF
the law. What they were really try
ing to do was to retard the Govern
ment's destructive policy under the
provisions of the law. 1t was well
for them that they were on the right
side OF the Channel. If the Christian
knowledge Society, in seeking to pro-
mote justice, mercy and truth, were
publishing in Ireland a book applying
those principles to that unhappy
country, they would be subject to
criminal prosecution. Lord Salisbury
talked about the consolidation OF the
empire while pursuing a policy of ma
tional disruption. How, the speaker
asked, could that be a policy of con-
solidation which disregarded centuries
of national tradition and opposed
the will of four out of five millions of
people. Ireland only continued with
in the bounds Of moderation because
she knew that she had the sympathy
of friends in England. So long as
her moderation continued SO long
would the sympathy be continued.
Not for long could any government
face unanimous people. With the
single exception OF the Belfast Coun-
ell all the election authorities sided
with home rule. The foreign, inn
ported government stood alone. The
Liberals term OF minority in Parlia-
ment would cease at the first election,
as their appeal lay with the country.
The party had never inscribed on its
banner the name of cause without
carrying it through, and having taken
up the cause OF Ireland, the cause
would assuredlY triumph. [Cheers.

THE FOOD QUESTION.
Estimates of the Grain Yfc1a fer
the Coming Year.


WASHINGTON, December 27.-Ed-
ward Jussen, Consul General at vi
emma, has transmitted to the Depart
ment of State certain data gathered
from the report of the international
Feed and Grain Convention, recently
held in that city, relative to the con-
dition Of European cereal crops. In
Austria Hungary the yield OF wheat
for the year 1887 is estimated 1T w.
600, 900 bushels, an increase of nearly
q per cent. over the average yield Of
that country, while $4,000, 900
bushels is the estimated Weld of rye,
also considerable increase. The
crop OF oats, however, is hardly suf-
ficient to cover the home demand.
Russia has yielded an average crop.
Barley is of an xcellent quality. but
the crop OF oats is poor, and the pros
pect OF potatoes not very promising.
In the Scandinavian countries the
average amount OF wheat is produced,
but rye and oats fall far below the
average. The wheat crop of Italy is
poor, and the import demand for CO.
reals will amount to about thir-
teen million bushels. The corn crop is
above the average, and the country
will have a surplus for export. The
wheat crop of Switzerland and Hol-
land are above the average, while
that of Northern Russia is low. The
wheat crop of France is large, but a
considerable quantity of wheat must
be imported to meet the home de-
mand, as the quantity in store is very
light. In Great Britain and Ireland
the average wheat crop is expected.
the total yield being estimated at
from 90, 900, 900 to OO,OOO,0OO quar-
ters, SO that after deducting for seed,
fifty to ninety million quarters will
be left for home consumption and inn
portation. From 16,500, 900 to Is, 0OO,-
900 quarters will be required. The
English wheat in store is believed to
be very nearly exhausted and the
foreign wheat in store in England is
quite limited. Barley will yield ten
per cent less than the usual average.
Oats fifteen per cent less, and
beans and peas from forty
to fifty per cent. less. Potatoes are
healthy, but the crop will be small.
In British India the yield of wheat for
1887 is estimated at S69,695 tons.
From January to June 30, 1887,
British India exported to Europe
1861 SIG hundred weight OF wheat.
The expectation of certain qualities
of hops from Europe to the United
States of late increases to consider
able extent, the increase of Austria
Hungary alone during the year 1886
over the previous year amounting in
declared value to $66,257, the total
value OF hops sent to the United
States being valued at $1S9,9l5.

STILL STRIKING.
THE TARIFF BILL.
Its Passage Will Endangcr the
Fruit Interests.

San FRANCISCO, December ia
Washington special says that Califor-
mans and other Pacific Coast people
at the capital, are alarmed at the
prospects OF the pas sage of the
Cleveland Tariff bill. The measure
will injure the vineyardists and horti-
culturists. as we'll as the hop-growers,
lumber-men, coal-miners and salt
producers. II is proposed by the bill
to strike off the tariff upon the fol-
lowing articles: Two cents from figs,
two cents from raisins, one cent from
plums, one cent from prunes, three
cents from walnuts, five cents from
almonds, two cents from hops, twenty
five cents a box from oranges, thirty
cents from lemons, twenty per cent.
ad udlorem from lines, twenty per
cent, adj ralorem from grapes, seventy
five cents per ton from coal, fifty cents
per gallon from wine, and to put lum-
Der and wood and salt upon the free
list. Interviews with congressman
from the Pacific Coast declare that
the proposed changes will affect the
States on this coast more seriously
than any other in the Union if carried
into effect.

Associated Press Dispatehesto the NEEALDi
. SAN FRANCISCO, December 27.--The
Examiner this morning published q
letter from Geo. L. Brander, formerly
the manager OF the Nevada Bank, to
III. T. Morris, at one time the book
keeper at the Nevada Warehouse and
Dock Company,s warehouse at Port
Costa, in which Brander says that
the directors had decided to deal in
wheat instead of conducting simply a
warehouse business, in which he says
that it has not been profitable and he
asks Morris to assist Mr.. Conbrough
towards making better arrangements
with the railroad companies for the
delivery. This letter, which is dated
June 4, 1884, is yet in possession of
Morris, and would seem to show that
the alleged statement OF James G..
Fair that there was no document in
existence to show the connection OF
the Nevada Bank with the late dis
astrous wheat deal was made with a
due know Wedge OF the affair. The di-
rectors of the bank, it is said, were at
the same time directors OF the ware
house. Morris was supplanted by
Conbrough, and it was thought that
his efforts to dispose OF the letter, for
which he had been offered 500, arose
out OF his i'll feeling toward Brander.
